Ann andiford What a wonderful Canadian - summer weekend. The weather couldn't be better and it seems many of us are taking advan- tage of this beautiful time of year to enjoy time at home and of course vacations. As Dianne Cooke mentioned last week, our community is mourning the sudden loss of one of its finest citizens John Hef- fern. We would just like to take a few moments here to share with our neighborhood some of the fondest memories we have of John. John was one of the most dedicated men that we have met in many years. As husband and father he was to- 'tally dedicated to his family, to the community he was deeply involved as a hockey coach, role model to many of our local lads and he possessed a wonderful temperment and attitude to- ward his fellow man. It just seemed that although John was a very busy person, he never 241d no to a request to help and always got the job done. John never beat around the bush about anything and one always knew where they stood with John. John's exuberance and zest for life will be sorely missed, but - Scugog Shores Museum The Steam and Railway Days will be held at the Scugog Shores Museum on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 from 1 to 6 p.m. There will be displays and demonstrations of Resident will be missed will be remembered for a long time by those of us who knew him well.
